Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $359.00 from Sears

Summary:
This DVD player extremely easy to learn and use as well as remote. Only one drawback is the recognition of some/FEW DVDs.

Strengths:
3-Disc capacity! Great audio and video. Attractive styling. Component hook-up. Change audio, angle, digest and see chapter even if DVD doesnt have scene selection, zoom (GREAT), 3-D phonic sound, theater position (darkens screen 3 modes), easy to select and/or change subtitles and changes languages. My favore is the resume feature so if you accidently stop it or dont want to leave it on pause it will resume play with a simple push of the play button.

Weaknesses:
Some DVDs no matter how clean or new will not play (rarely) or will cause visual problems during playback. Will not play CDR's or some other types of VCD's. DVD player will lock up when unrecognizable disc is found and you have to turn off and wait for it to shut itself off. No Digital audio out (PCM/Bitstream).

Similar Products Used:
I got a cheap panasonic and it recognizes all discs but has less features. Sony is my next buy for sure but panasonic is great. JVC has better audio components than video. Ive found problems with JVC

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
